New line character php

Question

I've been trying to echo a new line character but it hasn't worked. Each time I loop I would like to add break after each iteration.

foreach($result as $row){

        $node =  '{"author":"' . $row["name"] . '"},';
        echo "\n";

    }

This is what I have but it's still printing all in one line. Any Suggestions?

look at your HTML source; it's in there alright. Use a combination of - `
`. with that `\n` and it will show it to you on screen as well. `\n` alone only shows up as a new line if writing to a file. — Funk Forty Niner, Nov 05 '15 at 19:49

If you want a new line in a browser you have to use a break tag. — Jay Blanchard, Nov 05 '15 at 19:51

This will surely work.

foreach($result as $row){
    $node =  '{"author":"' . $row["name"] . '"},';
    echo "<br>";
}

and what if they want to write to a file later on? that's a possibility. This for future readers to the question/answer. – Funk Forty Niner Nov 05 '15 at 19:55

yeah, but that situation was not stated in the question. If it was, I would have acted accordingly. – N3R4ZZuRR0 Nov 05 '15 at 19:56
